In a letter of the time to his wife Mary Sue[4], Hubbard said that, in order to assist his research, he was drinking a great deal of rum and taking stimulants and depressants ("I'm drinking lots of rum and popping pinks and greys"). His assistant at the time, Virginia Downsborough, said that he "was existing almost totally on a diet of drugs."[5] Miller (p290) hypothesises that it was important for Hubbard to be found in a debilitated condition, so as to present OT III as "a research accomplishment of immense magnitude".

hmmmm obviously the drug taking made the theory so much more believable to the masses. How can people believe this stuff? Wonder if there are any Scientologists on Mumsnet?

Oh purlease.

I have to say I find it quite amusing that so many people can find spritual meaning in what is basically a collection of shit sci fi stories.

Hydrogen bomb. Arf.

(My screenname is Scientology inspired though, I'll give 'em that)

I was wondering about your name Intergalacticwalrus when I read that site.

You can almost ALMOST believe people in the 50s and 60s believed some of that stuff when the whole world (or the US anyway) thought we were about to be invaded by beings from other planets, but for people today to believe it...!!!!
